There are closed cooling kits without Merc logos for a lot less--and we all know that Merc doesn't manufacture them--they "outsource" to some 3rd party
I'vee seen them for around $400

I have added closed cooling to three different boats which were fresh water boats to begin with and had zero problems. I did flush them a couple times initially with system cleaners but that was about it.

I keep my boat in the water too during the summer season, and when installing new engines I decided to install SuperFlush from http://www.superflushsales.com/
and I am very happy with it. Flushing couldn't be easier, you don't have to run the engines during flushing, very little added weight (compared to closed cooling) and the entire engine is flushed including exhaust risers/elbows.
I believe it is pretty much the same system as the MST Guardian, but I think MST Guardian went out of business based on the info on their web page:
